Raised markings provide clear, precise measurements. Reliable - Patented audible and tactile click ensures correct, consistent, and repeatable measurements. Ease of use - Get test results in seconds in three easy steps. Private and Personal- It's the easiest way to measure your own body fat percentage at home. | | • | Inexpensive - Costs less than a single body fat test from your doctor or health club. Convenient - Avoids the inconvenience, time, fees, and lack of privacy of a body fat test at a clinic. Durable - Manufactured from DuPont Delrin, providing years of reliable, accurate use. | | • | A clinical study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, Validity of Self-Assessment Techniques for Estimating Percent Fat in Men and Women, found that: 1) Self-testing of % body fat with the Accu-Measure was as accurate as results from multi-site measurements and calculations taken by an experienced clinical investigator using a Lange caliper. 2) % body fat calculations with the Accu-Measure were within 1.1 percentage points of underwater weighing results. | | • | "A salient feature of the Accu-Measure is that it is an inexpensive self-assessment technique that requires little skill to administer, therefore offering an attractive alternative for individuals who wish to determine their body composition without the inconvenience, expense, and lack of privacy of conventional body fat testing at clinics or recreational facilities." -- Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, December 1998 |

 Mediocre tool for assessing body fat October 26, 2008
X-Ray Vision (Southeastern United States)
Assessing your body fat is an accurate method of determining your level of fitness and health. br / br /This caliper is small and convenient. However, there are pitfalls. As you squeeze your skin fold, there is some variability from one measurement to the next due to its light construction. It is not durable over time with repetetive use and I question its validity beyond a 1 year time interval. Mine broke a little over 15 months at the 'hinge' opposite to the slide rule. br / br /Conclusion br / br /It is a portable, small tool for assessing your body composition but its durability over time is questionable (as is its accuracy). Use of the tool has a learning curve for accurate assessment.
Simple to use June 25, 2008

Product was as descriped, and offers a cheap alternative to the scales that measure your body fat. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to track their body fat. Very ease to use.
 Best purchase for losing weight June 20, 2008
Jason Martinez
When keeping track of losing weight, tracking your loss in body fat most certainly should be included. Easy to use and very accurate.
Less accurate than I had hoped... September 20, 2007

I am somewhat disappointed with my Accu-Measure 3000. Oh, it measures skinfold thickness well enough, but the accompanying chart only offers a limited range of body fat percentage readings. br / br /Although the calipers are able to read skinfolds to the nearest millimeter, the chart offers only a very loose interpretation of the readings. The body fat percentages listed on the chart would seem accurate enough: 9.9%, 12.4%, 14.7%, etc., but there is no 10% or 12% or 15%. The chart gives the impression that it is accurate to the tenth of a percent, but it is not. br / br /I had hoped for something more...
Easy and reliable April 4, 2007

I found the calipers extremely reliable after only a few "test runs." Knowing my body fat percentage helps me to keep track of where i'm at in loosing fat and not just loosing weight.
